This is a take on a classic Mexican pork dish - the pork is first braised slowly for hours, then shredded or chunked and baked or pan fried until the exterior is crisp. We had pulled pork sandwiches Sunday night, and I set aside half of the meat from ...

Saturday we had waffles for dinner - pathetically easy bisquick waffles, which I enhanced with some corn. I ended up with a couple cans of corn a few months ago from someone else's groceries that ended up in my bag, and this was a good use for one of ...

A day late and a dollar short, but here's some jambalaya in celebration of Mardi Gras. I suppose it's Mercredi Gras for us :-P I got the inspiration for this version from this recipe (originally from Cooking Light, April 2005). I tweaked my version ...

Another variation on calzones - these are made with pre-cooked ham and pineapple. Another winner! I used some leftover ham that I'd chunked up and stuck in the freezer for this one, but the store also sells packages of ham in little bite-sized chunks that would work well ...

This is a creation of my own, inspired by many recipes online. It turned out quite well for off the cuff. The bacon was a bit overwhelming, and I'll definitely use regular hickory or alderwood smoked next time rather than honey maple, but we're definitely using this as ...

This is Spaghetti Carbonara with the eggs deliberately cooked. We found we liked it better that way :-P It becomes much more reminiscent of typical breakfast flavors, and has thus been dubbed "breakfast skabetti" or "breakfast pesketti" in our house, playing off the way we ...

Ham and Bean Soup
Makes 8 servings (about 2 cups per serving)
